A crisis response solution built on Centegix's CrisisAlert platform, designed, installed, and supported by NIC Partners.
NIC Partners + Centegix
A crisis reported a minute late is a minute a district can’t get back.
NIC Partners’ crisis response solution puts Centegix’s CrisisAlert platform to work as a panic button every staff member already wears. It’s badge-based, instant, and precise about where help is needed. Centegix builds the badge and platform and provides ongoing support directly to the customer as a managed service. NIC Partners works with a district to decide how it gets deployed across every building, handles the initial rollout, and connects it to the rest of that district’s alerting and communication systems.
What the Centegix CrisisAlert platform covers
Wearable panic button.
Every staff member wears a badge that can summon help with a single press, or trigger a campus-wide alert with several rapid presses.
Precise indoor location.
CrisisAlert pinpoints which room or hallway a badge was triggered from, so responders know exactly where to go.
Instant notification.
An alert reaches designated staff, administrators, and responders on phones, desktops, and radios as soon as a badge is pressed.
Building system integration.
A campus-wide alert can trigger door locks, PA systems, and lighting as part of a lockdown response.
Discreet activation.
A badge can be pressed without drawing attention, unlike calling out or reaching for a phone.
What NIC Partners adds to the Centegix platform
01
Coverage designed for the actual building.
NIC Partners places location beacons building by building, so a triggered badge is never a dead zone away from being found.
02
Integration with the rest of a district's alert stack.
NIC Partners ties CrisisAlert into the same alerting platforms, like Singlewire's InformaCast, that trigger during an emergency, so one badge press activates the whole response.
03
Response protocols configured for real scenarios.
NIC Partners works with a district to map single-press and multi-press triggers to its actual response plan, not a generic default.
04
Rollout and training that makes the badge second nature.
NIC Partners trains every staff member on when and how to use their badge, so it's second nature well before it's ever needed.
05
A managed rollout with direct support from Centegix.
NIC Partners manages the initial deployment, and can be dispatched by Centegix to replace faulty hardware. Ongoing support comes directly from Centegix, so a district has one dedicated team for the platform.
Safer schools. Stronger communities.
